When China was hyping up the PLA Navy’s equipment on the 23rd Navy Day, the Hong Kong media reprinted an article that revealed that it took 48 hours for the Chinese aircraft carriers Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian to start. The main reason is to heat 60 tons of water into steam. There is a way to start the steam turbine, and the relevant situation has long been seen by the United States. Recently, the "Toutiao News" website of the Hong Kong media "Sing Tao Daily" reprinted many Chinese media articles promoting the People's Liberation Army Navy, entitled "As China celebrates the 23rd Navy Day with great fanfare, the Hong Kong media reprinted the article and broke the news that the Chinese aircraft carriers Liaoning, Shandong and Fujian all take 48 hours to launch, far behind the aircraft carriers of the United States, Britain and France, which only take 2 hours at most. The picture shows the Liaoning near Hong Kong in 2017. (AFP) [Compilation of Yang Fuyi/Taipei Report] While China was hyping up the PLA naval equipment on the 23rd Navy Day, the Hong Kong media reprinted an article that revealed that it would take 48 hours for the Chinese aircraft carriers Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian to be launched. Only when the water is heated into steam can the steam turbine be started. The relevant situation has long been seen through by the United States. Recently, the "Headline News" website of the Hong Kong media "Sing Tao Daily" reprinted many Chinese media articles promoting the People's Liberation Army Navy, titled "Boiling water for 48 hours, and the war has not yet left Hong Kong? Is the power of the Liaoning ship really the world's most backward?" The article quoted the "American Military Commentator" as saying: It takes 48 hours for the Liaoning to launch.

The author of the article marked it as "Military Fan Assembly", not only saying that what the American military "commentator" said was not wrong, but also saying that this was true not only for the Liaoning, but also for the Shandong and Fujian, because they used steam turbines as A common problem with conventionally powered aircraft carriers.

The article said that the steam turbines used in China use heavy oil to heat 60 tons of water into steam, so it takes a long time to start up. It takes 48 hours for four TB-12 boilers to boil the water before reaching full capacity. Power status; therefore, aircraft carriers such as Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian need 2 days of preparation time during wartime.

The article also compared the aircraft carriers of various countries, saying that there are two A-4W nuclear reactors on the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, and the start-up time is very short. It only takes 2 hours for the Nimitz to reach full power.

The article also stated that France's Charles de Gaulle nuclear-powered aircraft carrier also took a short start-up time of about one hour; the British aircraft carrier HMS Elizabeth uses a gas turbine, which has the shortest start-up time and can be started instantly as long as it is fueled and ignited.

Radio Free Asia reported that the above-mentioned article has not been found yet, but there is still an article titled "It took 48 hours to boil water, and the war is over and you haven't arrived at the battlefield?" .

Shen Zhou, a writer on the Epoch Times website, pointed out that the author of the pseudonym "Military Fan Assembly" should be a member of the Chinese military, not an ordinary military fan, so he is clear about the specific equipment parameters of Chinese warships.
